"I didn't blame either of you," Mrs. Wright took some ointment and applied it to Jenna's wound, "The incident has already happened, and the media has been fueling it. The Ritter family wants to see us condemned by public opinion."
"Now we need a new trending topic or something else to suppress the heat of this matter."
"But... our Wright family has always been law-abiding, and there is no deep background behind us. Compared with those big families in Urgford, our family is insignificant," Mrs. Wright felt a little sad.
Brayden looked at his mother's expression and couldn't help but say, "Mom... how about calling Grandpa?"
Mrs. Wright chuckled softly, "Since I cut ties with your grandfather's family back then, I can't go back to them again. When there is a will there is a way."
"I shouldn't have acted impulsively and implicated my dad," Brayden lowered his head.
"How about I apologize to the Ritter family?" Jenna whispered, "If it weren't for me, this wouldn't have happened."
"Jenna, we definitely cannot apologize because we are not at fault here. They have always been framing our family and forcing us to bow down," Mrs. Wright said seriously. "I know you feel bad inside but it's okay; I believe that our Wright family won't be so fragile."
After Cody came out of the examination room he was pushed into the ward by a nurse.
He just heard what Mrs. Wright said: "Honey, you're right; our Wright family isn't easy to defeat."
"I've sent my assistant out looking for evidence now," she continued.
"It will all come out in due time," Cody sat on the bed.
Just then another trending topic appeared on Twitter - plastic surgery hospital murder case.
#Plastic Surgeon Tragically Dies#
The first few tweets were normal enough but as they went on things started getting weirder.
"As an official parent in Urgford, what is Cody doing?"
"Why isn't he taking action?"
"He's responsible for making Urgford so unsafe!"
"We're too scared even leave home now."
"Cody, hurry up solve this case!"
Brayden was furious. "How could they blame my dad for such a serious crime like murder?"
"These people are going too far! Solving cases should be handled by police headquarters!" Jenna's face turned red from anger as she spoke up loudly
"It's obvious that they bought fake followers to attack our family," Cody sneered. "The more the Ritter family jumps around, the more desperate they seem. Let me see what they are capable of."
Did they really think Cody was a pushover?
Did they think he could be controlled by the Ritter family?
If he were weak, he wouldn't have been able to become Larro's right-hand man on his own.
By nightfall, public opinion on social media had reached a boiling point.
Almost everyone knew about Brayden's violent behavior towards women.
The video had an alarming number of likes and comments, especially shares.
Although there was no sound in the video, you could see Brayden's terrifying expression and how hard he squeezed Ashlyn's neck.
Some people who were familiar with the Ritter family called to express their sympathy and concern.
"Miss Ritter has suffered so much. The Wright family is too arrogant!"
"This Master Brayden doesn't know his limits. His future wife will suffer from domestic violence for sure."
"Yes, Miss Ritter, don't worry. I'm on your side."
Some celebrities also began speaking out one after another since The Ritter Group had a place in Urgford as well as some small stars under its capital umbrella who started standing up for Ashlyn too.
Hezekiah McCarthy: As a man myself, I feel ashamed of Brayden. How can someone hit a woman? If you're brave enough go catch those thugs who killed plastic surgeons instead!
Sofia: I can't stand watching this anymore! A man treating a woman like this is disgusting! Shameful!
Titus Lancaster: a guy resorting to violence deserves condemnation from everyone!
Meredith: I'm so sad for Miss Ritter and all women who have been victims of violence like her. Down with violent men!
...
Ashlyn looked at all these people supporting her on Twitter with joy while sitting comfortably on her living room sofa.
"I fell down back then but now it seems worth it."
Mrs. Ritter sat down beside her, "Of course it's worth it. Now the Wright family is like a rat crossing the street, everyone is cursing them. Whoever sees them has to say something bad."
"With such intense public opinion, will the President replace him? Will my dad take his place?" Ashlyn happily popped a strawberry into her mouth.
